What is 80: Epidemiology of Trampoline-Related Injuries in Children Attending the Emergency Department about?

Intubated septic patients had an overall MORT rate of 47% (43/92) with Seniors MORT 60% (30/50), MidAge MORT of 31% (12/39) and Young at 33% (1/3), pϽ.04. Intubated congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients had the lowest MORT rates (chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseϭ22% (15/69) and CHFϭ24% (16/66), possibly reflecting the rapidly reversible nature of these conditions. Conclusion: Families of patients needing ED intubation are often distraught and in great need of possible outcome information. Providing some estimates of what to expect may help them anticipate future challenges. Providing rough age related to overall MORT, and potentially diagnosis specific MORT information may assist families in preparing for the potential death of their loved one. About 1/3 of patients needing intubation in the ED die, and this death rate is much higher in Seniors (almost 50% die). Understanding the high (almost 40%) death rate in the first 24 hours may also be helpful information for patients' families asking for some general idea of the severity of the situation. Finally, information about the possibility of NH placement (1/3 Seniors were placed in a nursin
